About:
Joshuto is a terminal file manager written in Rust, heavily inspired by the popular Ranger file manager. It provides a fast, efficient, and keyboard-driven interface for navigating and managing files directly from the command line. Its main value proposition is offering a modern, performant alternative to traditional file managers with minimal setup required.
Key Features:
  • Keyboard-driven navigation and operations
  • Tabbed browsing and multi-pane support
  • File previews and thumbnail generation
  • Vim-like keybindings and modes
  • Fast performance due to Rust implementation
Use Cases:
  • System administrators managing server files over SSH
  • Developers organizing project directories without leaving the terminal
  • Power users seeking a keyboard-centric file management workflow
Alternatives:
  • ranger – Joshuto is a Rust rewrite aiming for better performance and a more modern codebase.
  • lf – Both are fast, but Joshuto offers a more feature-rich out-of-the-box experience similar to Ranger.
  • mc – Midnight Commander uses a two-pane interface, whereas Joshuto uses a single-pane view with previews.
